I'm already in. ✌️

Your NBA MVP so far... Sixers fan already?
We all know Marques set up the shot in the beginning to flex his fresh hair cut, looking sharp my man 👌
didn't even watch the video yet 💀
Ok keep it in your pants, bruh.
You got me 😅
@@mkbhd busted
@@mkbhd lmao we all saw
Lookin fresh
The earbuds seem like they'd be really good for people prone to ear infections. By not trapping in moisture and allowing the ear to breath, it should reduce the risks of infection. I'd love to see data on it!
Man, Sony is always ahead of the game with crazy stuff like this. And they are using actual words in their naming!
*cough wh-1000xm4 *cough

They slam their face on a keyboard to name their non PlayStation products
@@KarltheBarl 💀bro you actually got me dead
@@KarltheBarl 💀
While the linkbuds may be lacking bass (there is still more than I expected), the mids and highs are unlike anything I've experienced from any earbuds, aside from iems, before. There's a crispness to the sound that seems to be extremely difficult for manufacturers to achieve in any ear/headphones without them being legitimately open backed. Not having to touch the earbuds themselves is such a gamechanger since there's no chance of knocking them loose while frustratingly trying to get the touch pad to work, and it seems to be way more consistent than any the controls of any other touch- controlled earbuds I've used.
I'd recommend these to anyone who still wants to be connected to the outside world while walking around/going on a hike.
They're also perfect for people like me who have older cars with stereo systems that are mediocre and/or don't work at all since I can still hear what's going on around me while listening to decent sounding music. The fact that the plastics are recycled from car parts makes them that much more fitting for that purpose
Good comment, I want them now lol
@@chromaticvisuelle I'd suggest waiting a a couple months.. While $180 is less than I'd have expected them to launch at, a $20 or $30 price drop, or sale, is more than likely to happen once they're past the introductory period
Man really spit out a well-written headphone review in a TH-cam comment😂
@@pawa303 it's weird cause I HATED reading and writing in high school, but now I do things like this and I give journalists shit for not putting in enough effort into their research 🤣
Do they produce any sound at all below 100Hz ish for you? Mine don't, I listen to a lot of metal etc so no problem there, but when I tried listening to Kendrick Lamar I thought the earbuds were broken. There is literally no bass coming through in a lot of his songs. That plus the fact that they're extremely uncomfortable for my ears means that i have to return them... I really hope they implement the skin touch control on future earbuds though.
I think Sony actually worked a really long time on these kind of earphones.
I remember like 6 years ago my mother participated on a market research, where she got to test these kind of earphones for about two weeks and then give feedback on what her thoughts were about them.
She gave them to me for a day to test them myself and of course they were still completely wired and really didn't sound good at all, in fact very canny and trebbly sound with a total of zero bass. But that might really just been something like an prototype.
I don't actually know if Sony ever released them or were just working on them until they have a finalized product they think is good enough for the open market.
Where does your mom work?
they actually don‘t have bass and still don‘t sound good...
@@NutzerLive they sound good. Stop lie
@@tauqeerahmad3988 They sound worse than Airpods 3. If you think that's still good enough then yes.
@@safwanhamza Oh she didn't work there, she just participated on a market research.
Pretty much all the big companies do market researches every now and then to get an opinion from normal people on new products, movies, marketing campaigns and video games. A company for this example Sony approaches a market research company who does that for them and then shares the opinions and thoughts of the people with Sony. My mom just participated on this market research as a volunteer. But they always pay you a bit for the time you took.
If there's a market research company in your city, try to sign up, its very interesting and makes a lot of fun! Whenever they search for people they send emails and you can sign up for them. Of course they always take different people with different pre-knowledge on the topic and different level of education, living situation and age to get widespread opinions from different target groups
The Xbox screen was dope! The giveaway is also nice especially with the charity component. Two of the best in tech teaming up can only = 🔥
The Xbox screen is useless get an IPad, download the Xbox app and start Remote Play.
@@Anonym-dx2tp the latency....
A normal portable screen > xscreen shit > ipad + 10^9 ms latency.
Gamecube had the same screen attachment 20 years ago lol
@@GlitterGuru PS1 had the same Screen attachment, 27 years ago hahaha, But it´s cool is coming back
Would be neat if it wasn't for the fact that any gaming laptop can do the same with an Xbox controller and a wireless dongle seeing as pc gets all the Xbox games.
The Sony Linkbuds are pretty cool and make a lot of sense (say, from a Japanese commuter and handheld gaming perspective), since a lot of people commute, walk several kilometers a day and even still game-on-the-go. They made it so you could still hear and speak in public without having to pop out and possibly lose those tiny earpieces. As a Sony (Playstation) fangirl myself, the "tapping the area in front of your ear" reminds me of Aloy's Focus (a triangular device she uses to scan, see data of and interact with "the old world" - our world/time) in (Sony) Playstation's Horizon Forbidden West. PRETTY COOL!
its a cool concept and would like to seem them improve, but the Audio quality is SOOOOO BAD
Overrated Airpods
They also suck lol. Extremely uncomfortable and non-existent bass below 100Hz ish
If Apple had made he tapping feature you wouldn’t hear the end of it
I like that it let's your inner ears breath
The most surprising thing about this is Sony using actual words to name their product
Don't worry, they also have the name "WF-L900"... Naming them "LinkBuds" is definitely an improvement.
RIGHT?!
😂 LOL 😂😂😂
True 🤣🤣🤣
This. 🙌
Hey Marques, I was just using my Sony link buds when your video popped up. Honestly, its one of the weirdest and coolest tech I ever had. Thanks for the review!
Looks like I need to get me ones ☺️
Waiting for it to launch in my country Sadge
Can other people hear your audio? Like phone conversation or music?
@@alanzlinsky not really.. my kid had to really go up close to my shoulder to hear it.
He mentioned the hole for your hearing your surroundings but forgot to mention their actual main purpose. One of the problems with ear buds is that they build up pressure in your ear and prolonged use can cause ear issues. These ones from Sony you won't have that issue.
12:58 I believe that's why technology exists. Making positive impacts. Great job you both.
The control on the Sony's with tapping the skin is incredible
It's the same as the Galaxy Buds feature where you double tap your ear for volume up/down.
I've been using this feature for 2 years...
It's the same function as a wave-to-flush toilet lol. It doesn't actually have anything to do with you touching your skin.
@@misssummersalt you're supposed to tap the earbud edge for that, not your ear.
Also works with airpods 2. Amazing
@@ViggoMor10sen It works better tapping your ear though, even though the app lists it as the earbud’s edge.
I genuinely think as someone with dyspraxia tapping the side of my head for controls will be a lot easier than hitting the earbuds as I find it very hard to actually tap a tiny earbud, with my coordination.
I usually rest my thumb and middle finger on my cheek, so it makes it easier to hit the earbud
@@Hyped_Panda oh really I'll try that out next time, thanks for the advice
Samsung galaxy buds 2 have this feature and it works insanely accurately.
What’s dyspraxia?
Just looked that up, and man or man, have I got a way to avoid the draft now
As a backer of Xscreen and person who's interested in the Sony Airbuds, this was an awesome vid to see!
Gstory did it first xscreen is a rip off
@@boogiewitdahoodie1914cope
It’s a good era in tech when Sony starts dropping weirdos like those buds. The Sony Mylo and the Vaio P were bizarre devices, but their designs were a ton of fun.
I’m in love with these Sony ear buds. Sony is killing it with its innovation. How often do we see big companies think out of the box. Kudos to Sony again
How often? All the freaking time. It’s what makes them grow 🧐
These earbuds are just the negative of open back in ears without the sound quality benefits. PLEASE just get an open back if you want this, the sound quality will be much better.
What does kudos mean?
@@oscarramos5681it's basically just a compliment
Just got a pair of link buds, one really cool feature is that if you have a touque on in the winter, tapping basically anywhere on the side of your hat will work. Very useful when it's cold af and you don't want to have to take off gloves or hat.
Bro this brings back some nostalgia, I remember back when I had my PlayStation 1 with the screen flip up like this one. Granted, it's not the best screen by any means, but it was enough to just be able to see what's happening on the fly.
fun fact: the original playstation was called the PS1, but the one with the flip up screen was actually called the PS One, and they’re two distinct units
On the note of AirPods Pro amplifying the environment around you, they’ll also turn themselves down if noise around you gets too loud. I use mine around machinery with only one in and transparency on and if a machine makes a really loud noise it messes with me a bit because I won’t hear it in the ear with the airpod even though transparency is on.
Although this can initially sound like a good idea, then I strongly urge you to wear real ear protectives as your ears still can get damaged around loud noises with noise canceling.
@@tari0048 I do! We have them readily available where I’m at and I understand that AirPods definitely aren’t proper hearing protection
I notcied they do this when alarms go off near me.
@@tari0048 Yeah, I agree wear proper protection, but active noise cancellation was actually initially designed to protect airline pilots from hearing loss.
This video definitely had some interesting tech. Thanks for always bringing the great content and wow, on the tech you’re giving away. Also, thank you for using your platform and stage positively
Love my linkbuds! I work at a grocery store and we are only allowed to have one earbud in. Still like them a lot better than regular ones and I can hear everything around me that I need to. Best part is they don't fall out no matter how hard I try which is a must for me.
Nice! I'm seriously considering it.
My work let's me have both in full volume lmao.
@@girlsdrinkfeck Lucky lol we aren't suppose to have them at all but this one guy has gotten fired countless times and the union keeps bringing him back. He always has one in so the union and management agree on one earbud unless it gets out of hand for some reason again.
Those Sony buds are amazing. I like when companies think outside the box.
Sony also created neck band speakers (like actual speakers on ur neck)..
That's wat we call as innovation..!!
@@NaveedAhmed12341 yes! It is so good, watching movies is better now if you don't have a budget a on theater room
Yes, just like the Sony Xperia Touch!
Man, Sony is always way ahead of the curb with new tech like this.
I mean, open back iems and earbuds are not really new
@@shared29 lol
@Pong Krell its like when you copy the hw from your friend and you try to change it up a little bit but it’s obvious you copied it lmao
3:15 Tesla is working on putting Steam in the cars.
Been a long time subscriber. Earlier mkbhd used to make a lot of videos on random stuff. Now it feels like videos only on main stream stuff like what's trending. Hope more random tech videos like this are made.
I seriously wanna try those Sony airbuds. I really do use earbuds on commute, at moderate volumes yet the lack of awareness on my environment while listening to music makes me miss stops and car horns lol
other people say the audio quality is shitty but ill just keep it just to say that I got the weird earbuds lol
@@mathmanchris666 They're decent if you're not one of those that "needs" a ton of bass.
Just buy open back headphones
Video was already awesome and the Giveaway announcement at the end was cherry on top! 🔥
None cares
@@8DVIBEZ about your life
Really enjoy your videos! Explaining in a way that even a non-tech person will get hocked up and understand what you are explaining 😊
WOW! the earbuds with the audio controllers being "integrated" with the owners skull are very dope!!
It sure gives cyberpunk vibes being able to controll the device by tapping on your skull, as if it was an audio implant (but it is just an earbud that is able to sense the taps). Very cool!
The gaming tablet is also very cool, very pricey, but cool!
The double tap the skin/ear to adjust volume is actually available on Samsung Buds too. It is under "labs" options. But you can only change volume (up or down, depending on the side), there is no option to map to other things.
Mr who is the boss + marques brownlee = 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just when I think tech is getting stale we get all this cool stuff. Link buds are a super cool concept, the asus tablet looks nuts. Heck even the cables are getting cool
I genuinely think as someone with dyspraxia tapping my head is a lot easier than tapping the earbud themselves
Marques, the TH-cam King of Tech in the US and Arun, the TH-cam King of Tech in the UK. I love when you guys team up, it always brings a smile to my face :)
It’s great to see very creative products coming out from tech companies. There’s no end to innovations!
You can purchase the cable on Etsy
Nice to see Sony innovating once again
No innovation there
2:45 That MKBHD Controller looks sick!
This is huge, I love dbrand already and I've been following Mrwhosetheboss all these years already, he makes great content, If you're not subscribed to him do it!
You can purchase the cable on Etsy
6:08 people will start thinking that you are a robot
that xbox laptop jawn is great, i remember people modding 360’s back in the day with similar setups but it cost like $1,500-2,000 of something absurd to build. needing to plug is an issue but theres big portable batteries now, maybe not 10 hours of play big but probably 2-3 at least id guess
Great to see the link buds. Picked them up on launch they're great for wearing at work. Can listen to tunes while still being aware of my surroundings so i don't get run over by a forklift
Got one of those cables when he first tweeted it. It’s dope and an excellent troubleshooting tool with crappy usb-c hubs
Those are the perfect earbuds I've been waiting my entire life without knowing it. Let me explain. First and foremost, these sound easily the best against any top tier earbuds I've tried. They always try to mimic the "open back" soundscape, but it's always just that. "Trying". The mids and highs are just incredible and organic. Most earbuds almost always has too much bass and the highs are at best harsh. The next point is the feel. I can almost forget I'm wearing these, even when I'm listening music at ambient levels. Feels like I'm in the music if that makes any sense? Like in the middle of concert or something. Incredible. Easily the greatest innovation in earbud design ever.
Just love the production quality. You are the best in the game Budd.
Also- dope earbuds!
Get it. Ear "budds"
@@infinitebeats6444 absolutely:)
I love dbrand so much lmao, the last two FAQ's for the giveaway had me rolling 🤣
Can you please guide me on how to enter these giveaways and what’s the process
@@universalspiderman just follow all three of them on Twitter. dbrand, MKBHD, and MrWhosetheboss. The first winners will be selected in 3 days.
so the tapping-the-skull feature was just an OTA update for humans?
The collab with MrWhoseTheBoss is one of the most epic YT collabs ever. Period. You two are epic.
Does the Boston Dynamics Tee mean we'll see a video about robots soon 👀?
Interesting question
Regarding the tap near the ear on the Link Budst, the Freebuds 3 and 4 from Huawei had this feature for years. It's great in my experience, better than touch controls.
Oh shit...these are my dream buds that I was waiting for.
My ears are super oily and I have stopped using any kind of earphones or ear buds as it irritates me a lot. A little longer gaming with the in-ear buds had forced me a visit to a doctor.
This is just perfect for my sensitive ears ❤️
Have you tried bone conduction headphones? I recently got some Shokz…and LOVE them!
@@noratown this is the first time I have heard about it. Will definitely check how it works. Thanks
Getting the linkbuds loud enough to drown out environment when outside or when in the bus is really bad for your hearing
Marques I just love your videos!! 🌸
I really love the 'two-circle' design of the earbuds, they look so comfortable. I really hope they make a closed back ANC pair with the same design.
I would totally sell my beans for those
@@fujiirolive dankpods?
@@JustysFrank I wish
Awesome video as usual and great intro. I may have not noticed this before, but I appreciate you actually having full screen video - up to the Face ID array and equivalent on the speaker side. Slow clap.. Thank you. Hopefully the others will follow suit.
The earbuds are ideal for my working environment, since am a music lover and at the same time I need to pay attention to what is happening around the store
Definitely one of weirdest and cool tech at the same time I would really want to get my hands on those earbuds 😅
These earbuds are just the negative of open back in ears without the sound quality benefits. PLEASE just get an open back if you want this, the sound quality will be much better.
Love this idea, I always have ambient mode on at the office (generally quiet office) so that I can attend to ppl without feeling like they're interupting me or having them to use hand gestures.
Rose Ellen here in Dubai keep sharing tech videos with sense dude! Mabuhay!
The Sony linkbuds are fantastic. I hate earbuds that make my ear feel plugged like 99% of them out there. these things are like the Galaxy buds live but with better sound and a better fit.. hands down my favorite earbud ever used and I've tried them all.
you know that earpods + airpods have been a thing for years and do exactly the same but have actual bass? It‘s nothing new shown here...
@@NutzerLive those don't fit my ears whatsoever I've tried them.
Do they stay in your ear well?
@@lejame they do just need take the time to try the difference eat find to get the right fit. I actually took a picture of my ear to see the fit and they also have an in-app fitting tutorial
My use case for these is office work taking phone calls watching media in the house with the kids so I can hear what's going on if I was going to the gym I'm putting in my Jabra elites hands down if it's your only earbud I probably recommend doing a job or the airpod pro etc
Imagine getting slapped with the Sony earphones in your ears then have your song changed.
Bro💀
8:15 OMG THOSE FINGERPRINTS
just got the linkbuds, they're cool, make my ears a bit sore after a while but I think ill get used to it, I use them mostly to play TikToks while gaming (because i can wear them under headphones) and while doing stuff around the house
As always, a fantastic product review.
The LED cable is an excellent option. I'm going for broke.
I can't believe they are freebies, either.
Camera for qr code scanning, very useful and often forgotten 👍
Love this video!! It'd be awesome if you made a full review of the steam deck and sony linkBuds
I don't really like the feeling of noise cancellation or sticking things in my ear canal so iv been thinking about getting the standard Airpods, but then the link buds came out and now I'm wondering which one to get haha
linkbuds don‘t have bass, so probably airpods are better
If you want to listen to music, don't buy the link buds..
@@Ricky_RSC it would be for listening to music and watching stuff like TH-cam videos on the train
@@ImJustPeter you can get better sound for $35, Soundpeats Air 3: Semi in-ear, ear detection, app, custom EQ, full touch controls, gaming mode, aptx adaptive, and pretty good mics (the linkbuds have better mics though, but the Soundpeats are not bad at all), they are really tiny and the case is even smaller than sony's.
I own them, and could give you my EQ settings, it makes them sound cleaner
@@Ricky_RSC Looking them up in Amazon, they are really cheap. I'll look up some reviews on them.
A note for anyone reading, when you have to turn up the music or audio in these earbuds to drown out the ambient sound, you could be turning up levels that'll wreak some serious havoc on your ears. So these could be great for needing "situational awareness" if you're jogging in a quiet city, but pls do NOT wear if you're finding the need to crank the vol. Plus, it's harder to trap bass in an open fit earbud which is another reason you may end up cranking the vol. The tap buttons are def pretty dope, though, I give them that!
I pretty much always listen to any headphones I've ever owned on full volume only. Are you telling me I'm wreaking some havoc on my ears??
@@ahsan.v8 yes
Love the work you guys are doing ❤️
So I've been watching these while wearing my Galaxy Buds 2. I thought that the gesture control of the Sony buds which is tapping near the outer ear was too weird so I tried to do it just to know how does that feel. To my surprise the volume of my Buds 2 was raised after tapping near my right ear just as shown by Marques in the video. It was probably just the sensor being too sensitive since the pause/play feature wasn't working but still a great discovery. 😂 Have Buds too? Go try it to see if it will work also. 😅
Actually it's an intentional feature though I thought you had to turn it on in the the labs section of the wearable app.
I love these! Thanks for sharing!
I used to have a screen just like that for my PS2 back in the day. It was super chonky but fantastic for its time
Same but for the PS1. Funny how stuff cycles back around
MKBHD: “Weirdest earbuds I have ever tried”
Earbuds : *that’s weird.*
Notice how he is wearing red and black while talking about how he loves red and black while holding a red and black tablet. Nice touch:D!
Lowkey disappointed you didn't include the Stem Player by Ye 😪
A back camera on a tablet actually makes sense. It's for when you have a document that you want to digitize real quick, such as a handout - just take a picture of it and add it to, say, onenote.
WOW thank you for the giveaway!
The skins for the Switches look sooo dope..
Still such an underrated company outside of gaming. Sony still so innovative
Your videos are absolutely fantastic and I have so much fun with them. Every time I learning something new for technology. Continue with the good work, you are a inspiration.
I’ve been waiting to see you talk about these earbuds!
Got nothing to write so here is pancake recipe:
Ingredients
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 ¼ cups milk1 egg
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Process
Step 1
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
Step 2
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
Enjoy!
That giveaway is too good, especially the 2 cent thing
Cool techs..wish i had one of ur gadgets..can't wait for the give away collab..
I will never look at your name and not think of will smith in rewind 2018. I wasn't really into tech channels before that, so thank you MKBHD and Arun for starting this incredible journey
Love the Sony buds especially when walking on a bussy Street
As a soldier who spent ALOT of time stuck on base during Covid, the xscreen is huge. Soldiers in training, as well as deployed Sailors cannot have stuff out at all during the duty day. This includes TVs, consoles, etc. So having something that can be stored in a locker and taken out easily is great. I myself have a GAEMS Guardian Pro, but that company has since gone out of business, and is far less practical for most people. Although, it would've been nice to see at least a 1440p display.
"...I am not saying because it is red and black, although that definitely helps..."
Gotta love Marques and his love for red and black
That's a beautiful collaboration idea
to highlight SolarAid charity and donation commitment will do so much good. Will we be getting an audience special episode with yourself and Aaron. That would be a good watch.
Love to hear what's people thoughts on the Sony Linkbuds. Recently purchased my wife. 13pro and airpods, got apple purely for support and a clean ecosystem.
Awesome that your two are donating!
Bonus with that Rog tablet, when your done gaming you can fry eggs on it.
Wow Marques, this is for sure the biggest tech giveaway ever.🤙🏾🔥 You are one of my favorite and most entertaining tech reviewer on TH-cam. I really enjoy your videos. Love from Fiji 🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯
Mapquest been killing it lately! Keep it up brother
this will be the go to for xbox car mods for sure
Sony is a beast when it comes to hardware! The only area they lack is software!
Those linkbuds are seriously Cyberpunk
I use these for running and biking they are great and can still hear the cars
The Xbox Xacreen thing is pretty cool. I had a similar attachment for my PS2 slim, and it would just attach to the back of the PS with 2 screws and it even had a car outlet. Pretty cool since I didn’t have a TV in my room. Could literally play anywhere I wanted.
Wow. I'm blown away. Great gadget reviews. Wow that give away at the end though. I've not seen anything on that scale. Wow
yoo, thanks for the giveaway, never won one and don't believe much on it, but since you said is a big one and will help those who need I'm giving it a shot!
The touch controls on those Sony earbuds is the exact same way the original or second gen AirPods can be controlled as well. Still cool
